In a Child's Room: Sail to Space

A child's room is a space to dream, hope, love and grow. If you have a little adventurer with her feet on the earth and her head in the clouds, you'll love these sweet finds for her little space.

In a Grandmother's Attic

When I was very young, my grandmother had an attic full of pieces of family history. I would hop from ceiling beam to ceiling beam to avoid falling through the insulation, and if this sounds dangerous, I'm sure it was. But hey, in the 80's we all lived on the wild side.

I wish I could remember more specifically some of the finds I uncovered while in that attic. I do remember finding costume jewelry and clothing from when my mother, aunt and uncles were children. And toys that I would drag back down the ladder with me.

I have always loved unearthing the history of items, whether vintage clothing that has already been loved and worn by someone else in another time or art that may be newly created, but still seems to have a story to tell.

I don't know that my grandmother's attic had anything as lovely as these finds, but they all certainly seem to have a history waiting to be shared.

Primitive Inspiration from Amedeo Modigliani

I've been obsessed lately with everything Primitive, and have always been fascinated with portraits, so when I came across this Modigliani print, "Gypsy Woman with Baby," at a vintage shop on Killingsworth, I thought I had died and gone to Figurative Heaven! Get it?...

You can all tell that its on a chipped old piece of wood, making it WAY cooler, right? I seriously considered stripping my studio of everything modern and replacing it with all things simple, rustic, folky and/or ready to crumble, but as my tax return is for saving, not spending, this year, I will have to make due with sending my wish list out into the universe (and sharing it with you....). Please enjoy these beautifully soulful pieces found on Etsy. Just don't buy them because I want them! Or if you do, don't let me catch you...

By the way, in the course of looking up the history of this piece, I came across this cool, though not recently updated, blog called Artist of the Week for Kids. Here's the link to their write up on Modigliani: http://bit.ly/eL68Xg
